lyte) becomes frozen, bring battery into a warm area to thaw before you begin charging.
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.
Never set a battery on top of the charger.
Never place charger directly above battery being charged. The gases from the battery willcorrode
and damage the charger.
Never use charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury.

service professional if service or repair is required.

Personal Safety Precautions For your own personal safety, please follow the follow-
ing precautions:
Wear complete eye and clothing protection when
working with lead-acid batteries.
Be sure that someone iswithin range of your vOice
to come to your aid if needed while you work with or are near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or cloth-
ing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and
water. Then get medical attention.
Avoid touching your eyes while working with a
battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your
eyes. Ifthis occurs, flush eyes immediately with
running cold water for at least ten minutes. Then
immediately get medical attention.
Remove all personal metal Items from your body,
such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while working with a lead-acid battery. A battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe bum.
Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object onto the battery. This may spark or short circuit the
battery or another electrical device that may cause an explosion.
Always operate your battery charger in an open, well ventilated area.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery orengine. Batteries generate explosive
gases.
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
